Yesterday, we went to see my Doctor, Dr Clementino. She put me in the cold metal thing again, but I didn't mind, cause Daddy was cheering, and that was distracting to me, just like the lights on the ceiling often do.

Anyway, I got in the cold metal thing, and I weighed in at 9 lbs, 13 ounces, up 17 ounces from my weigh in two weeks ago. I am growing at a perfect rate, according to the doctor. I had also gained an inch and a half in length, and now I am over 20 inches long, coming in at 21".

The doctor broke out some chart with a lot of lines on it. She said I was on the dark red line for both my height and weight, putting me in the 50th percentile for both. I guess that means I'm average, but Mommy and Daddy say I'm anything but average!

Daddy says that all smart celebrities have a good ‘team’
around them. Most have lawyers, managers, publicists and the like, but so far I
only have a couple doctors on my team.Let’s meet them, shall we?

This is Dr Shipp.Mommy and Daddy call him ‘Shipp it’, cause he did something with me called
‘shipp-ing it crucial, one time’.The lights
were really bright in his office, and his hands were much colder than the sweet
warm bliss of the goo I was living in inside Mommy’s belly. Still, he seems nice, Mommy and Daddy love
him, and so I am happy to have him on my team.

This is Dr Clementino.She is my pediatrician.She is
very nice, but I have to have a heart to heart with her about how cold the
metal thing she weighs me in is.Speaking of heart, Dr Clementino listens to mine every time I see
her.I guess I will know her for a long
time, as she has kids much older than me that she doctors for.Mommy liked her office much more than the place down the street.I saw her yesterday, and she was so happy that I was 8 lbs 12 oz (the
first time I weigh more than when I was born!) that she said I don’t have to go
in the cold metal thing for two whole weeks.I’m only two weeks old, so as you can imagine this is a big deal for me.

I will keep you abreast of my team members when I hire
them.Attorney candidates, Manager
candidates, etc etc. need to go through Daddy for now.I hope Daddy doesn’t become an evil ‘Dad-anager’
like that Joe Simpson.His poor
daughters.
